Dave Hudson and Ryan Dennee are both stand up comedians who owe a lot of thanks to Chris Hausen. They have started this fundraiser to help an old friend who brought so many amazing shows to Kingston ON.
"Chris is one of the hardest workers I have ever met. He ran an amazing comedy club, is a decent and honest person who currently works with kids and is truly devoted to his amazing daughter. Everything about Chris is great, except for his health. Near the end of Time to Laugh, Chris' health began to decline, the doctors saw a lot of symptoms but no answers, and now it is even worse. His doctors have told him his kidneys are functioning at less than 50% but he doesn't feel he can stop working for financial reasons. Recently, I am hoping that the many comedy and music acts, patrons, neighbors and friends of Chris Hausen will donate whatever they can so that Chris can rest and try to spend as much time as he can with his daughter. A Kingston based fundraiser comedy/music show is also planned for the near future. I know there are so many worthy causes, but Chris deserves better and my hope is that we can maybe buy him as much time as possible for his daughter. Thank you and much love to you all." Dave Hudson
